April showers bring May flowers. The rain has really benefitted our community. Flowers are bloomin’ and pollen is flyin’ everywhere. Bluebonnets, azaleas, and dogwoods are showing their beautiful colors. With that in mind, we have some special events in Athens this month.
Outdoor Fools Day will be at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center on Saturday, April 4th. Experts in camping, fishing, archery, campfire cooking and more will teach hand-on-skills in a day of family-oriented outdoor fun. This event is being compared as a mini-Outdoor-Expo that Austin hosts each year.
For those who have a green thumb, or wishing they had a green thumb we have two events for you. The Garden Club will have a Plant Auction at the Arboretum on Wednesday, April 15th. The Master Gardeners Spring Conference will be at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center on Thursday, April 16. Elvin McDonald, former editor of Better Homes & Gardens will be the guest speaker.
For the Music Lovers:
- The Greencards will be here for one night only at Lakeview Lodge on Friday April 3rd.
- Drew Smith and his Lonely Choir will be at Image Warehouse on April 18th.
- The Perry’s will perform at Lifeway on April 18th.
- TVCC Wildcard Swing Orchestra will perform at Lakeview Lodge on April 24th.
